To the Editor, "The Spike."

It is now two years since that second notorious excursion to Samoa of the New Zealand Parliament, and in view of the remarkable reports concerning the Labour Party's share in this trip which have been circulated at recent elections. I am taking the liberty of forwarding to you these papers for publication in your enlightened paper-free as well from the debasing taint of Capitalism as from the personal animus of party. They are, as you will perceive, parts of the diary of one of our greatest Labour pioneers, and they throw a revealing light on the noble and self-sacrificing character of one who may well be described as a Napoleon of Statesmanship.
